Thisbook describes in detail structure and application cases of the Diameter protocol. An important part of the book will cover the policy control architecture and the alternatives with the logical entities PCEF and PCRF in a distributed environment as well as Diameter signaling routing and the use and purpose of Diameter Routing Agents (DRA's).
We will then review the various applications and interfaces developed by 3GPP for Diameter and will particularly focus on Diameter in the IMS and EPC environment for Authorization, Authentication and the usage in the security architecture.
The Diameter Cx / Dx, S6, SWx and Sta interfaces will be evaluated in detailed with selected scenarios and sample log files to explain interworking with the HSS and AAA servers in 3GPP.
The details of the commands and parameters of the Sh and Dh interfaces will explain the communications with application servers in the IMS environment with the access and update of profile information and access rights.
